you don’t tell me you love me but you make me feel like you do
you make me feel like the entire world, like there is nothing you want the way you want me
like your life doesn’t make sense without me
you make me feel like i’m the only one you’ve ever wanted, that every girl in between was just a distraction
but if you wanted to be with me, you would be

you don’t tell me you love me, you say everything but
you whisper sweet nothings in my ear and leave lingering kisses a little too close to my mouth
you make me lose control and like it
you make me lose control, if only for a moment,

you make me settle for less than all of you
because i can’t have you the way that i want
and so i take what i can get
because i’m tired of not having you at all.

you don’t tell me you love me but you make me feel like you do

so tell me you love me, if you really do, and walk away if you don’t
stop telling me ***** midnight secrets over the phone and a bottle of whiskey
unless you’d still mean them stone cold sober the next day
so stay in or out of life
because i deserve more than someone who is only in love with the idea of me
i deserve more than someone who only begs for parts of my body instead of fighting for all of me
love me like you mean it or don’t love me at all
